The ratio between the amount of text written in the discussions of late august about OF support and the adventure branch, and the actual changes that happened to darcs HEAD is a little sad. It is only now that I am reading those mails because I found them too big back then...

I wish patch374 was more separated in several bundles that could have been reviewed one by one. It does not have to be the case that the same bunle contains OF removal patches and new features. But back then I did not have time to contribute to the discussion, that's why I'm waking up now...

Hi, is it a problem (may it become a problem) if a repo contains patches creating and then deleting "./darcs_testing_for_nfs/" directory in the repo root? I assume darcs uses this directory internally for detecting NFS filesystems, right?

"The -XGADTs or -XTypeFamilies pragmas switch on MonoLocalBinds but, if you want, you can override it with -XNoMonoLocalBinds (or the equivalent LANGUAGE pragma). The type checker will then do its best to generalise local bindings, and your program will almost certainly work. However, I don't know how to guarantee any good properties of the type inference algorithm. So I think this is ok as as short term fix, but I'd like to encourage you to add that
